>>It involves simply setting some properties in the grid, that relate the child grid to the parent table (or grid?) through some properties. This solution uses a specific index to show the corresponding record in the child table. I hope someone else can fill in the details, since I never used this method. Must be something with .ChildOrder and .LinkMaster.

>>What I wanted to say is that I don't like this method, since, by relying on a specific index, it doesn't let you control the order of the child records, HOWEVER, it is much simpler than using a filter or (better) a parameterized view for the child record, which needs some refreshing through code, and therefore more programming work.

That one looks real neat; I don't think you can do something similar with built-in Visual FoxPro grids. The closest I have seen - but still more limited - is the TreeView ActiveX control.

I suppose you will have to search for third-party tools to get this kind of presentation. OK, that was precisely your question; but I don't know of any.
